[Teeth marks yield clue to widespread internet outage in Canada • The Register Forums](https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2022/06/15/beaver\_internet\_outage\_canada/) The last few comments full of double entendres are so funny!

Some idiots in my area had them as pets with a breeding pair. Of course, they escaped and I am sure we will be overrun in a few decades. Team Coyote, do your thing!

We lived on Guam in the mid-70’s and occasionally had island wide power outages that were supposedly caused by suicidal snakes crawling into some power stations or whatever.

It could pretty easily happen here in Michigan too, but I think squirrel-based outages are more common.

Exact same thing has happened to me. Except the power pole was across the county road from my house. Called the utility company and they came out and put a new fuse up on the transformer that fed my house.. . . .and a prickly thing over the terminal where the line attaches to it to attempt to keep the critters from being a conduit for the electricity there.

They became squirrel-infused confetti.
